Grand Canyon National Park - Arizona

Clouds and Shadows, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

PRINTED ON BACK: “‘The whole vast charm was roofed with masses of grey clouds ranked closely and hurrying swiftly, all the distracting lines of the Canyon were lost and the haphazard coloring was made harmonious by deep blue curtains of mist. Here was a new phase of the Canyon. When the light falls into it, it is harsh, but the storm will transform it into a splendor no mountain range can surpass. Peaks will shift and glow, walls darken, crags take fire, and grey-green mesas take on the gleam of opalescent lakes of mountain water.’ – Hamlin Garland”

Sent July 25, 1947. Linen. Terrible condition, mainly from being badly stained.

HANDWRITTEN: “Arrived here at 9A.M. today. This is truly a majestic sight. We saw Painted Desert + Petrified Forest yesterday. The heat is terrific by day, but very cool at night. Leave tomorrow for Glendale.
Love – Lena + Gordon”
